PAPER OUT!!🥳
It's on kids with #XP
A DNA repair defective syndrome where patients are unable to fix UV damage in skin.
Used 2 die as kids from Skin Cancer.
No longer, thx 2 surveillance!
But now some live 2 adulthood & develop early-onset dementia..

Off to @uniofgalway for a two-day workshop on Cancer Genomics with @GenomicsCRT students. Looking forward to talks from @_ADegasperi @mnileathlobhair @jbond2019 @mcdade_lab and others

Outstanding talks about environmental carcinogens and mutational signatures @myESMO #MAP2022 by @Lyonpaul from @IARCWHO and @_ADegasperi from @Cambridge_Uni and mini oral by @LimEmilia @TheCrick. Grateful to @CRUKresearch for the generous support!

Finishing up my PhD in 2012 I had a stipend of €18k. A decade later my students have a stipend that is only marginally higher (€18.5k, 3% increase). In the same time period rent for a single room in Dublin has gone up almost 70%. This is completely unsustainable.

To coincide with the team's paper release, Signal has been updated to include the more than 50 new mutational signatures across more than 18,000 cancer samples.
PAPER OUT!!! 🎉😄💃🏻🕺🏻

This week on The G Word #sciencepodcast, @chris_wigley is joined by @SerenaNikZainal, a consultant in clinical genetics.
She discusses sharing data, personalised treatment for cancer patients and the impact of the 100,000 Genomes Project.
